[maemo-developers] Python libosso bindings and ICd not working

[From: Luciano M. Wolf]

Hi Erik,

I had the same problem testing here. At this moment we are migrating
the PyMaemo repository to garage.maemo.org and this will take some
time. Finishing this task we will take a look on this problem in osso
bindings. Could you file a bug in pymaemo bugzilla[1]? Thanks in
advance!
